Where will they go?

A poem by Tamerah | 3/20/2008

The room is empty
The walls are bare
You can look in as you pass by
But no one is there
The room where they lived
Where they loved and they laughed
Is forsaken and lonely
Sleeping at last.
The door has been locked
And the windows are closed
Left in the wake
Is a room, all alone.
In solitary it is left
With dreams unfulfilled
The air that was breathed
Is now painfully still.
But what of the memories
That have been left behind
They sleep there alone
And in their sleep, they cry
Where will they go?
Now they don't have a home
Just an empty room
Just an empty soul
They sit and they sigh
They whisper alone
Those memories, forgotten
Where will they go?

Tami, I enjoyed this very much. I think we need to share memeories to keep them fresh and alive. How lonely are forgotten memories and the One that forgets. You have so many awesome thoughts. Can I say I am proud of you?

When I read this, I pictured myself opening the door and going in to an empty house, which I hadn't been to in a long time; where very dear friends of mine once lived, but no longer. This poem really moved me!

Thank you!

Haha, you remind me of the hares in Redwall =]

Anna | Thu, 03/27/2008 - 6:29pm

You've read the Redwall books? I love those things! Well, I don't read them so much now... Have you read Castaways of the Flying Dutchman?

=]
Tamerah | Thu, 03/27/2008 - 7:01pm

Yep, I've read all of the Redwall books and also the Castaways of the Flying Dutchman and the other two that go with it... The Angel's Command and something else, i can't remember its name.

Anna | Sat, 03/29/2008 - 11:22am

Voyage of the Slaves, I think... didn't like that one as much as the other two... Ben acted weird... But ah well.
There's a new Redwall book out, Eulalia I think it's called. Have you read that one?

Tamerah | Sat, 03/29/2008 - 2:03pm

I read it a few months ago. They don't seem as good anymore though, the first ones are my favorites

Anna | Wed, 04/02/2008 - 1:27pm

I liked High Rhulain and Triss alot, but not so much the other newer ones. I think Mattimeo was the best. :)

Why did you change ur pic again?

...
Tamerah | Wed, 04/02/2008 - 2:45pm

I liked Triss, I can't really remember High Rhulain. I think the first one is my favorite, I like ones with riddles and mysteries and the new ones don't seem to have that, I think that's why I like the earlier ones. I like Salamandastron too.

I'm always changing my picture, whatever my current myspace picture is will usually be the on I have on here, I'll probably have this one for a while though.

Anna | Thu, 04/03/2008 - 2:56pm

I haven't read the first ones for a long time...

Oh.
I never change mine because the pictures from my camera are too large to put on here... the one I have up is from my friend's camera. :)

Tamerah | Thu, 04/03/2008 - 5:15pm

Ya thats why i have a photobucket account, you can resize your pictures there and do a bunch of other picture decorating stuff too.
Is that picture actually you then?

Anna | Fri, 04/04/2008 - 3:43pm

Yup... but verrry old. Summer '06, I think.

Tamerah | Fri, 04/04/2008 - 4:51pm

Wow, I never thought it was you. I like it a lot, its very artistic with the bubbles =]

Anna | Mon, 04/07/2008 - 4:29pm

Well, it's me... but my friend took it so she should get the credit, she's great at taking pictures.

Emily | Tue, 04/08/2008 - 6:05am

I'm pretty good at pictures to! Though mom took the one that's up there now at a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field. We went there on Vacation last year! :)
